Hearing the shouts under the city, Zhang Chen, wearing a phoenix-winged helmet and wearing mountain armor, poked his head out of the city and laughed: "The defeated generals, dare to come and die? Go back and tell you Yue Tuo's children! Your grandfather, Li Lao Er, will sit down and change his surname, and I will wait for you to come and give him the head today! It's not in vain that grandfather, I will have ten years of friendship with you Yue Tuo's children!"

The white-armed soldier looked carefully. Zhang Chen looked very similar to Li Guodong and put on makeup. These white-armed Bayala soldiers saw it and thought that it was Li Guodong himself. So they went back to report to Luo Luohong: "Master Beile, the servants have already seen it carefully. It is indeed Li Lao Er!"

Yue Tuo said: "Since it is Li Laoer, we will first besiege Jinan, and wait for Prince Rui's army to arrive, and then besiege Jinan."

Du Du suggested: "Prince, Minggou is extremely cunning. After hearing the spies coming to report, Prince Rui attacked Jiazhuang for a long time and could not capture it. It is very likely that Li Lao Er is on Lu Xiangsheng's side. Let's take a tentative attack to see if the Li Lao Er in Jinan is true or false. And I have sent me a detailed message. There are very few defenders in Jinan. Why did Li Lao Er appear here? It is very likely that it is a plan that makes our army dare not let go of its hands and feet to attack the city."

Yue Tou thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Then let the Han army flag and Baoyi Aha launch a tentative attack."

The Qing army launched a tentative attack and used Baoyi Aha to push a shield cart to fill the moat.

Jinan is a strong city, with a moat of five meters wide and three feet deep, a river channel with a water depth of one meter deep, and an extremely strong city. In real history, if there weren't too few defenders in the city, Yue Tuo would not have been able to defeat Jinan City.

When King De Zhu Youshu heard that the Qing army had attacked Jinan, he hurriedly climbed the city to check the situation of the defenders. King Ninghai Zhu Changshi, Prince Ning's Fengguo General Zhu Changbian, Prince Tai'an's Fengguo General Zhu Changxi, Prince Tai'an's Fengguo General Zhu Changxi and others all came.

Seeing the dark Qing army under the city, Zhu Youshu's face turned pale and cold sweat broke out.

"Prince, if you have the last general, Jiannu will never be able to break through Jinan!" Zhang Chen, who pretended to be Li Guodong, stepped forward and knelt on one knee and saluted.

When Zhu Youshu saw "Li Guodong" standing in front of him alive, he felt a little confident in his heart: "Master Rong Li, I heard that you can fight well and have both civil and military skills. The lives of the people in Jinan City will be entrusted to you!"

"Please rest assured! As long as the last one is here, even a Jiannu will not want to enter Jinan City!" Zhang Chen, who pretended to be Li Guodong, replied confidently.

Although the real commander was Han Dashan and Zhang Chen was fake, Zhang Chen was fake, and the plan was formulated in advance by him and Han Dashan, and then he would issue orders. Han Dashan was deeply educated by Li Guodong and the city was arranged in an orderly manner. This series of orders was conveyed through Zhang Chen's mouth, which made the defenders in Jinan City admire him, and they all regarded Zhang Chen as the real Li Guodong.

More than 20 days ago, after they arrived in Jinan, Han Dashan ordered the recruitment of Min Zhuang to help defend the city. However, Min Zhuang had it, but the weapons were insufficient, so he ordered a search in the city to find all the useful weapons to defend the city, and claimed to the outside that it was of course Li Guodong's order. Zhang Chen, the fake Li Guodong, did a very good job. When it was time for him to come forward, he came out to pretend to be Li Guodong, and even spoke the same. He made plans and formulated the city defense plan. Han Dashan secretly planned it and then ordered it through Zhang Chen's mouth.

After the arsenal of Jinan was opened, Han Dashan found that there were quite a lot of rags inside, such as rusty armor, rusty and rotten weapons, bows with softened bowstrings, long spears without spearheads, tiger squat cannons that would explode, as well as ancient bowl-mouth guns, fire door guns and other firearms.

In Han Dashan's eyes, these weapons are no different from garbage. Of course they cannot be used, but they still find some good things, such as more than 40 pairs of three-bow crossbows.

The three-bow bed crossbow is also an old antique, and it was left in the Zhengde period. It has been more than a hundred years since it was made of high-quality wood and it is preserved quite well. Except for the bow strings and traction ropes made of hemp ropes that are rotten, the other parts are still good. Just change a few hemp ropes and simply repair them, and then use them again.

This thing used to be the most powerful long-range weapon, with much higher accuracy than the catapult and its range was higher than that of the catapult. It was only later that the weapon such as the bed crossbow was eliminated because of the emergence of firearms. Therefore, it was left in the arsenal for more than a hundred years and no one cared about it.

Now these bed crossbows have been moved out by Han Dashan. After repairing, they are moved to the city wall. The bed crossbows have a long range and are powerful, and the shield cannot be blocked at all. It is estimated that ordinary shield cars can shoot through them.

The disadvantage of the bed crossbow is that it requires multiple people to operate it. A pair of three-bow bed crossbows requires at least ten people to launch it. Among them, it takes seven or eight people to pull the winch to pull the bowstring. However, there are many people in Jinan. In addition to the people in the city, there are also villagers who fled outside. It is no problem to recruit a group of strong people from the people.

The only shortage is silver. Recruiting Minzhuang and Jiannu struggles hard, which requires silver; building gun heads and shields requires silver; building weapons to defend the city also requires silver.

Where is the most money in Jinan? Of course, it is the Dewang Mansion.

So Han Dashan took Zhang Chen with him, but it was wrong. It should be said that Li Guodong took Han Dashan to Prince De's mansion to beg for alms.

Compared to King Fu, who was later stewed into a pot of soup by Li Zicheng, King De was much more generous and his IQ was much higher than King Fu. King De Zhu Youshu knew that if the city was broken by the Qing army and attacked into the city, what would it be if he kept any more silver? Isn’t it cheaper for the Qing army? So King De generously took out 300,000 taels of silver as the first batch of silver to be raised.

In addition to being enough for the expense reward of 50,000 people, 300,000 taels of silver can also be used to create gun heads, repair bed crossbows, create gunpowder, and build weapons to defend the city. Anyway, King De, who was fooled by Zhang Chen, the 300,000 taels of silver he took out was just the first batch of silver. If the silver was not enough, he would be willing to pay another silver.

Being able to save your life is more important than anything else. Otherwise, if Jinan City is broken, don’t talk about your own life. I guess Jiannu will not let his family go. Thinking of his beloved daughter, the sixteen-year-old princess is tall and beautiful. If she falls into the hands of Jiannu, she will know what kind of fate will be.

King De Zhu Youshu was quite reasonable. Li Guodong came to save his family from afar. He could not recruit the people and Zhuang. He had to pay the money to build weapons to defend the city, right? That was to guard Jinan City, and the Baode Palace was safe. Naturally, King De wanted to pay the money.

However, there are many gentry in the city who are like King Fu who are worthy of money and life. Those people are really unconscious. They don’t think about it. Once the Qing army invades the city, their family may be slaughtered. They are reluctant to take out the money they have to defend the city and the people who are strong, and they will eventually fall into the hands of the Qing army?

Han Dashan naturally would not deal with those gentry who were kicked by donkeys in the head and refused to take out the money after they died. Instead, he made a list and handed it over to King De and the Jinyiwei in the city.

Next, it was easy to deal with. The gentry were charged with Tonglu and taken down by the Jinyiwei.

"You and others are simply unfaithful and unfilial! The temples of Saint Confucius were burned by Jiannu. For their own selfish interests, you did not want to avenge Saint Confucius, but instead refused to do anything to defend Jinan! Only Tonglu could explain such behavior!" King De angrily rebuked those gentry who were unfair.

Although gentry with fame can enjoy various treatments, they are not even afraid of the emperor. However, when the temple of Confucius was burned, they were not afraid of it. Such things spread throughout the world, and the reputation of these people was completely terrible. Scholars in the world would deny them, and then charge them with a Tongluo, then deprived them of fame and fortune, and threw them into prison. The censors did not dare to speak for them. After all, the censors were also people who read the books of sages. The Confucius Temple was burned and had already slapped the scholars in the world in the face. At this time, they refused to invest in defending the city. Wouldn't that arouse the righteous indignation of the scholars in the world?

If you want to pay, King De has paid, and others have nothing to say.
